- 1
Remove the heads and innards from the iriko, and split them in half so that more flavor can be extracted. Use 25 g of the shredded iriko.
- 2
Put the konbu seaweed and iriko in water, and leave for at least 2 hours. Ideally leave it to soak overnight.
- 3
Heat to bring out the umami slowly. Be sure to use low heat. Take the iriko and konbu out just before the water comes to a boil.
- 4
Add the thick-cut bonito flakes and simmer for 25 minutes. Watch the heat so that it doesn't come to a rolling boil.
- 5
Remove any scum carefully. After 25 minutes have passed, add the thin bonito flakes, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- 6
Turn off the heat, and wait 5 minutes until the bonito flakes have sunk to the bottom of the pan. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve. Press down with cooking chopsticks as you strain the liquid to extract it all from the bonito flakes.
- 7
Add usukuchi soy sauce and salt, and the soup is done. For my kitsune udon recipe, see.

Udon noodles in miso soup
My take on 'tanuki udon', using miso pase to add more flavour to the broth. Just to warn you I never 'measure' how much of the ingredients I use, so the measurements in the list are a very rough estimate (I'sorry >_<) Also this recipe is inspired by the recipes on: justonecookbook.com

I couldn't forget the houtou I had in Yamanashi! So I re-created it at home.The thinly sliced mochi and the flour coating the udon noodles thicken the sauce. That thick sauce is the distinctive feature of houtou.Add meat and other ingredients you like, in addition to the kabocha squash.You can use 6 cups of water + 2 teaspoons of dashi stock granules instead of the dashi stock.I recommend using red miso for this. For 2 servings. Recipe by itarunrun

Stewed Curry Udon Noodles
I made curry noodle soup in a clay pot.It's a sister to the stewed miso udon noodles.Please adjust the amount of dashi base according to the size of your clay pot. You can use pork or onions instead of chicken. The egg will be cooked with remaining heat so take the pot from the heat shortly after you cover the pot. You can cook the egg to the doneness of your liking but I like it soft-poached. Recipe by Bananazakuro

Ultimate Sanuki Udon Noodles
I was raised watching my grandma make homemade udon noodles, but she was unable to teach me before her mind started slipping, so I jumped over to Sanuki, studied at an udon school, and made udon over and over again. Later, I discovered the Easy Noodles with a Pasta Machine" book by Yamato Oomori, got the idea for the tapioca flour from another Cookpad user. I was able to finally come up with the perfect chewy noodles through trial and error.This is great if you have Sanuki flour! It really does taste different. Using a starch-based flour for dusting will prevent the noodles from sticking. Don't use wheat flour. This is a dough with little water and is hard to form into a ball. The amount of water will vary according to the season, so you can add up to 30 g more water if you like. Add it into the food processor if you do, though. You can use a pasta machine to cut the noodles, but I recommend cutting them by hand if you want to come close to Sanuki udon noodles. Recipe by kapacyan

Springy Homemade Udon Noodles
Homemade udon noodles are awesome! It may seem like there is too much salt, but when they are boiled most of it will be washed off, so there's no need to worry about it.If you slice the noodles to match the thickness you want after they have been boiled, they won't come out nice. They'll become sticky like dumplings and they will fall apart.Slice to 3-4 mm thick.Since the noodles firm up quite a bit when cooled, it doesn't really work if you try to test the hardness while they are hot. Recipe by Cooking S Papa
